Reres Park
14 minute walk from Broughty Ferry station · Dundee, Aberdeen and North East · Free entry
Reres Park is a scenic 6.5-acre public park located on Reres Hill in Broughty Ferry. Originally secured for the community in 1868, this charming green space sits within a conservation area known for its 19th-century architectural styles and prime views over the River Tay toward Fife.
The park is rich in history, featuring an impressive entrance archway and a stone wall topped with artistic ironwork, both erected in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. Its natural character was shaped early on by the careful thinning of trees to fund the layout of the grounds.
Visitors can enjoy a stroll through heavily planted, mature vegetation along a network of upgraded footpaths. The park offers an accessible environment for the public, featuring a selection of street furniture and a trim trail for those looking to stay active while enjoying the outdoors.
